2019-08-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)Hi J.P., thanks for the chat. I’ve got my last couple picks coming up in a deep dynasty league draft and I’m considering the guys below. Anyone jump out from the group positively or negatively? They are: Jonathan Stiever, Randy Florentino, Ji-Hwan Bae, Cubs’ Pedro Martinez, Jacob Waguespack, and Sterling Sharp. Thanks.
(Nick from Phoenix)		Stiever is interesting due to his velo jump, so I think I like him best out of anyone listed here. Bae could carry some trade value in deeper leagues due to his gaudy stolen-base numbers. I wouldn't be drafting Florentino above anyone else on this list, as that burn is just too slow and abstract.
